I'm sorry. I thought the days of doing cgi's in C were long gone. Ah the
days when I didn't know Perl and had to churn out cgi code in C.
There is absolutely 0 advantage to doing a site in C over Perl. In fact,
unless you are ver, very VERY carefull with your mem allocations and how
you pass variables your site will be vulnerable to buffer overflow
attacks.
Good luck!
